2024 Richmond Spiders Football - Opponents Countdown - Campbell
- Thread starter mojo-spider
- Start date
UR lines up for a FG with 5 seconds left. Peskin connects. 27-24 Spiders.
Gutsy road win on a day when lots went wrong. Huge turnover on downs by our defense after we threw the late int and then the offense marched down the field to ice it. Lots of teams would have lost that game. With URI losing today we now control our own destiny in conference play. One game at a time. Go spiders!
A character win. Russ and coaches are doing a good job with these guys. Absolutely no quit and many playing hurt.
I have not watched them all year, but they certainly look better than their record.
QB and WR are awesome. Their OL handled Spiders pretty well also. DL shut down run game as well.
After playing well for a couple weeks in a row, we didn’t today (Campbell is not a bad team) but we found a way. They don’t ask how, they ask how many!
Win next week and we're guaranteed no worse than a tie for conference championship.
This was a very gritty, in your face win. Honestly Camels looked better. Worried about our depth on both sides
This time of year we can start getting worn down. Cam timing was little off on some TD passes. I will take it as an off
day for us but we still found a way to win.

Goal was 1-0 this week. Achieved.
Not our prettiest game by far, but reached down deep on O and D and found a way in second half. Characteristic of a very good team, possibly a championship team, but let's not get ahead of ourselves. Two worthy opponents follow.
1-0 next week. Go Spiders!

Reviewing stats. Penalties really hurt the Camels, 7 for 81 yds vs our 2 for 20. Believe most of this was from a 3-6 team coming in disgruntled and foaming at the mouth to make a statement against a ranked team at home.
Russ normally has a disciplined team when it comes to penalties and penalties were certainly a factor today. Enjoyed 30 yards alone on one of our TD drives.
Camels program on the rise. Like their coach. Better day ahead. They played with heart. Great game....and, of course, the correct outcome!

And Matthew Traynor had a hell of a game. All over the field, a miscue or 2, but always around the ball and made play after play. R-FR, bright future for Spiders, if we can keep him.

Our young quarterback impressed. Several times he put the team on his back and carried them. He made plays when he needed to. He brought the team back from the abyss in the 2nd half and he engineered the game winning drive.
I would say Campbell scouted us well. They took away our run game and forced our QB to beat us. They also wore down our defense with their running game. We had trouble stopping their duel threat QB, until we did. The QB, Chandler, reminded me of the App State QB who gave us fits in 2007 and 2008. I believe his name was Armanti Edwards.
Campbell was every bit our equal today. Campbell and Hampton will be a force in the CAA.

Huesman needs to understand that he should not try to turn Coleman into a running QB. He will only get hurt. Huesman is only happy if his QB is a bruising running QB, like Wickersham.
